Our sports fields and many of our rooms and facilities are undergoing annual maintenance in June and July. The softball pitch will be seeded with grass to create a more flexible play space for PE and other sports activities. Seven elementary classrooms will be renovated and a new elementary office suite will be created up near the nurse’s office. Two sides of our exterior walls will be torn down and replaced, and more security cameras will be added on the exterior and interior of the campus.
